Analyzing Propaganda in Animal Farm

In this assignment, you will analyze the use of propaganda in George Orwell's Animal Farm. You will use textual evidence to support your analysis and connect your understanding to a propaganda poster you have created in class. Be sure to answer each question thoughtfully and thoroughly, using evidence and examples to support your ideas.

Answer the following questions in complete sentences. Use evidence from Animal Farm and your own poster to support your responses.

Find a quote from chapters 1-10 of Animal Farm that clearly shows the pigs' use of propaganda or manipulative language. Write the quote in your response and include the chapter number. Then, in a 5-7 sentence paragraph, explain HOW and WHY this is an example of propaganda. Be sure to discuss how the language manipulates the other animals and what effect it has on them.

Select one type of propaganda from your class notes (for example: bandwagon, glittering generalities, fear, etc.). In a 5-7 sentence paragraph, explain how your propaganda poster demonstrates this type of propaganda. Be sure to cite specific details from your poster that support your explanation.
